[Windows Phone 7 General] cervtel:
Well you cant compare the os with ms-nokia partnership since nokia itself was kept in the dark ages by Olli Pekka any phone os was a major improvement to nokia. WP7 is phailing big time due to misleading advertising campaign, you see time and time again satisfied wp7 suckers claim "well its working as designed" but deep inside they are regretful that basic features are missing that are expected in a smart device, .ie tethering, usb drive, flash, irc, ftw, useful apps amongst others. Its claim to be a smart phone when it just doesnt have the apis to back it up, WP7 does not provide anything new or exciting. Most users would prefer wp7 phone it it were advertized correctly, this phone was never meant to be smart. It was meant to be a zune player with calling and apps, it should have never been advertized as the replacement to windows mobile 6.5 since it comes nowhere near to its predecessor. WP7 work in progress well thats nice and all but its published its out there while more apis will be released in the future i dont see anyone willing to take a risk after being suckered into a inferior device.

Even tho ms spent quite alot on marketing it seems the shopper as not as stupid as they expected, i just love how ms tried to market renamed features that it could not back up, ie social networks, live tiles (giant icons wtf is this a phone for blind folks) full internet capabilities (no flash support), claim to being a international phone. And whats the deal with office for the exception of sharepoint the office suite comes no where near any other suite, it might as well have just been a office viewer since the options are worthless for creating a doc/xls and with the lack of exporting/importing capabilities whats the point. Oh god i hate how this phone is a Nazi, you have a sd card but we will hide it from you, you can tether but you have to hack it, and whats the deal with the app furhur its bad enough you have no apps but do you really have to ban or reject every single app unless its boring. and c'mon no multi taking, some phones even have dual cores limiting tasks is not the correct route to take when trying to make a stable os with todays devices
[Windows Phone 7 General] mKTank:
Spoken like somebody who has never even touched the damn thing. Troll somewhere else.

Also, Live Tiles aren't just "big icons omg lol wtf," they are actually more like mini widgets. Naturally, of course, you'd know this if you did more research and less farting out the mouth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That's why MS hopes to be back four years after starting the platform, not seven (even though Mr. Rubin & Co. also have been in this business for years, but let's not focus on this).

In addition to that, what's needed now for quick success is marketing and PR skills, and MS doesn't have them. Neither does Google, but it doesn't have to piss against the wind as far as dealing with the press is concerned. No amount of experience developing products can compensate that when we talk about adoption speed.

Sure. But when I drive to work, I see at least two huge billboards with Samsung Wave (only Galaxy Tab is more visible I guess). Another two exposures when I go back. I run into their web ads several times a day. And then whenever I go to any store that sells consumer electronics, I see POS materials and the phones themselves - at big places like MediaMarkt or small mobile phone shops around the corner. It's hard NOT to sell a million phones this way, regardless of which OS they have. Samsung has a lot of influence when we look at distribution worldwide, much more than HTC for example (because they sell dumbphones as well, they are a very important supplier). So when they think they want to sell something they sure can, especially with that SAMOLED tag.

Do you think that if Samsung pushed, say, Focus worldwide it wouldn't sell a million? I'm sure it would. That being said, convincing Samsung that they should is one huge task for MS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] El Mono:
The lack of a task manager, or tethering made simple are non-issues to me. And as far as the iPhone is concerned APPs are everything. I'll refrain from any other remarks directed at your (you know who you are) puerile assessment of WP7. I actually have grown to really like the overall look and feel of the phone. It is hard to go back to my Android phone without noticing just how "unrefined" the os feels compared to wp7.

At best this is just my opinion though. I'm willing to give them(MS) time. Android wasn't a massive hit at first either.

El Mono

P.S. No hard feeling cervtel - I just don't agree with you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
if this is true, why haven't the carriers pushed wp as the next awesome thing, and called out android (as everyone says here) as being fragmented, laggy, slow, and ugly ?

seems like a pretty easy thing to do on the salesfloor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
Android is not slow, and ugly and laggy is truly different on any device depending on user. And the salesfloor trust me a salesperson will sell what is hot because people only want what they know about (most except techies and people wanting to gamble). This is why they pick up Android and Iphone (it is well known now) Verizon did a great job (better than tmobile) of showing the Android Platform in comparison to the Iphone which is a must have phone for people who don't want to learn about the phone just want something high tech. From working @ ATT and in the Information Tech industry I can tell you this, all of my friends who have an iphone aren't as techie (just my experience) or have time to play with their phone like my friends who are Android users (mostly no ATT people who want to overclock their alarm clocks if they could), and the smaller market for WP7 has been me and like 10 out of 20 of my friends who have wp7 work in the IT field that are doing some serious field testing for their enterprise customers, the other 10 like having something different play a ton of xbox, and like the Zune. I agree with alot of people when was the last time you saw a WP commercial? Only time I see literature is at the ATT store. The only thing I miss is Wifi tethering to be honest, and the reason for that is I don't have a data card and my Nook only has wifi, everything else well.... But again everyone is different and that is a good thing just saying people don't knock something till you try it (for a real amount of time not just 3mins of playing in the store).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Lets not as Microsoft still has the most experience.

Please explain Bada then? Its new and its beating WP7. It didn't have all these launch partners, it doesn't have all of these huge OEM names.

Who's fault is that? Again they don't have 9 devices and huge OEMs backing them.

Why aren't they doing it then? Do they not want WP7 to succeed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It's Samsung's own baby. They try harder to sell it. And I already explained the rest.

Microsoft's. Partly it's their fault, partly it's just the way 3rd party platforms work.

They don't care basically. They want themselves to succeed. Whatever helps they'll use. Nobody in their sane mind would bet hundreds of millions of dollars on a new unproven platform with limited functionality and an unusual interface.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jbestman:
Myopic view. You do realize that there is a world out there besides the USA. Android is going great in the rest of the world where Iphone is not restricted to one carrier. How do you explain that? Maybe, it is the fact that the OS is good and people actually love it. Just a thought.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jhughesy:
Android is not that good, it's a substandard OS which is laggy and has a poor UI.

Maybe it's because of all the phone manufacturers flooding the market with Android devices?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lestercute08:
Q: Why do you lock the boot loader of your devices? Isn’t Android supposed to be open source?

A: Yes, Android is an open source platform. Anyone can download it, modify it to their liking and install it on hardware they have designed. A mobile device is much more than the operating system. In our phones there are functionality that have to be secure such as SIM-lock and DRM. We currently don’t have a solution in place to secure that while opening the bootloader and therefore it would break legal agreements with many of our partners if we do.”
[General Questions and Answers] Kaaji1359:
Hello. I'm absolutely loving this app: VLC Stream & Convert. The issue I'm running into is that occasionally I will receive a warning that my CPU Usage is 90-95%. I go into my task management app to determine what is taking up so much CPU Usage and every time it's VLC Stream & Convert.

This happens when VLC is running on my laptop (which it always does at startup) and I am connected over WiFi, even when I'm not doing anything with the app! I will be checking email, browsing the web, nothing to do with VLC and this app will randomly start using all of my CPU Usage! Even when I go into the app and say "Stop and Exit," the app will continue to use up CPU usage.

I have a Motorola Atrix and have had it for a week now. Again, I am loving this app and would love to keep it, but its completely unacceptable when an IDLE app is doing anything with over 1% of my CPU usage...

EDIT: I guess I should point and clarify that my CPU Usage stays in the 80-90%+ range only after I have used VLC Stream & Convert to watch a movie, stream something, etc., but even after exiting the program (and even VLC on laptop) it still runs consistently at a very high CPU Usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMemisevic:
Hey guys, i have a Rooted Evo4G and am in the process of switching ROMs to find the best one. Now i know to use nandroid before every flash, and to use Titanium Backup to backup/restore data once the device is flashed. My MAIN question is what is the difference between nandroid backup and the rom backup option in Rom Manager?

To be honest, nandroid backup never does the job right - so is the rom backup better/as good as nandroid? :confused:

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentphantom:
Nandroid backup and backup option in rom manager is the same thing. Both of them take a snapshot of your phone's state at the time you do it. Can you elaborate on how your nandroids don't get it right?

Fwiw, I highly recommend using Amon_Ra to nandroid than clockwork, personal preference though. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Like agentphantom asked, what exactly is happening that makes you think something is wrong?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverback88:
I do this a lot.

Probably a stupid question, but could I damage the headphone jack doing this?

Also, has anyone had problems with the power button after switching the phone on/off a lot?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I've had this phone since day one. I plug my headphones in about 3-4 times a day. No problems so far, the power button seems sturdy too.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverback88:
Thanks.

I insert and remove them more than that. Almost everyone I need to make a call in fact.

What ROM are you using? If your using CM6-7 then there is DSP Manager. Sadly its not on the market

[Galaxy Tab General] karfeef:
excellent post. wish i'd had this when installing a couple of weeks ago - first time i tried to use the new Odin and .pit files..took me 4 hours in all to figure it out lol.

as a side note - i notice that on the original rom post, it says the modem is not included, yet i can make and receive calls ok, without installing a modem or using any kind of switcher etc..not sure what's going on there...confused...
[Galaxy Tab General] gwbard:
just curious -- what does the "P1_20100909.pit" do?

when I originally converted to MoDaCo's kernel, I flashed just the PDA tar only -- nothing else, and have had no issues whatsoever.

so what exactly is a pit file for?
[Galaxy Tab General] dsf767:
So how big of an SD card do you actually need? you just said one big enough for the file system it would be great if you had an aprox. size.

Overall great guide! it will help me a lot when I get my Tab on Wednesday.
[Galaxy Tab General] alterbridge86:
What I mean by modem not included is whatever modem you originally had before flashing the rom you keep...so that's why you are able to continue to make calls :)
[Galaxy Tab General] karfeef:
ah gotcha, thanks =)

one other thing, my swype keeps closing everytime i click a field. The keyboard opens, but then immediately closes again, no errors.

any idea how to fix?
[Galaxy Tab General] azubi:
* post can be deleted, sry :(
[Galaxy Tab General] gwbard:
answered my own question -- searching thru other threads, found this:

which confirms my suspicion that the PIT file in these instructions is not necessary, and is in fact useless if you're not ticking the 'Re-Partition' box. ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
I actually had the same suspicions, but the original guide I followed contained it so I was not sure, and did not want to leave out a necessary step. Have confirmed with alterbridge86 that yes this file is not needed. I will be updating the guide to reflect this, and to use the Overcome Kernel for the entire guide, soon. Sorry for the confusion guys.
[Galaxy Tab General] rusty4k:
Can this be installed on a Verizon non phone Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] azubi:
Yey! I managed to installed overcome 1.2.0 succesfully without selecting a pit-file :)

Thank you for the great tutorial. Anyway, during the backup there was always following message:

also, the PIT file is not necessary
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Ok, the Guide has been updated as promised. Sorry for the earlier confusion.

This message is fine, nothing to worry about :) It is a part of CWM looking for a possible SD-EXT mount point, which is an ext2 (usually) partition on the SD Card used for the old APP2SD setup. Nothing we need to worry about with our tabs so all good :)

I am glad to see this has helped many already, and I hope it continues to do so :)

[Galaxy Tab General] versuskid:
Big Thanks for this perfect guide..!
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Hey mate, for the RotoBackup, make sure you have the SDK set up for your particular OS as detailed here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

You will also need to make sure ADB it set up for your OS to talk to the device, as detailed here: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

Just follow the Windows Instructions for both pages for setting it up.

You also need to make sure you are rooted, and to have USB Debugging enabled at the time so ADB can see the Tab.

Hope this helps :)

Tnx man!

Just installed Overcome on my European Tab.

The only thing that worried met is that after the kernel installation and the EXT conversion my original ROM did not boot anymore(just showed the samsung logo, and vibrated so now en then). Maybe this could be fixed by wiping caches alone?

Anyway, after flashing the overcome ROM, it booted fine.

Seems to be faster then stock, and I like the battery circle.

Edit:

Wooow...i'm able to accept calender appointments from mail now. Unexpected and really great!

Issue mounting internal SD-Card

Tnx man! Y've done a great job.

I just installed your ROM on my European Tab.

And I found an Issue that my internal SDcard isn't mounted:(

I have had the same issue (see two pictures up) regarding the cache-partition during installation of the kernel.

Market function OK, I can download and store apps.

During bootup I'm able to see "Prepairing internal storage" but later (after media scan completed) shows me crossed SD-card written "Blank internal SD-card"

BTW in Settings I can only format this internal storage but not mounting it, it's written there

Internal Memory

Total space

​

Unavailiable

Availiable space

​

Unavailable

Format internal memory

Internal device space

Availiable space

​

1,77GB

External SD-card I can click on mounting but can't mount it even.

I've flashed the FW twice but without any success.

:confused:At this point I don't know what to do???:confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] randomiser:
I get an error in recovery, after flashing the kernal in odlin, Im on the new recovery. It fails to mount sd card because of no directory of SD card.

So i cant flash any rom. And it freezes on samsung screen if i try and boot up normally.

edit: omg nothing is working!!!! Cant mount them manually. Plus it failed to do EXT4. What do i do????

I have a 8gb sd card.

edit: I just tried my 2gb version that came with my motorola backflip(running Cyanagen7 mod) and it works!!!! Now formatting sd card to free up space. I hope it has enough space!

Looks like the recovery has no support of 8gb variants.

edit: I had plenty of space on my 2gb card. 1gb sd card is needed. Anyway it worked. I managed to boot my stock rom. Thanks Heaps!!:)

Time to flash overcome!!!

edit: Im surprised theres still samsung apps on this rom. Time for some deleting!!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Well, firstly thanks for the ROM go to alterbridge86 it is his ROM I just did the Tutorial hehe :)

This issue does not seem to be Overcome related, but rather a separate issue a few people have been experiencing. I do not know what is causing this issue, it should not be the recovery as it does not touch the filesystem of the internal storage or the external card, only the system partition. Have a look around in General etc hopefully a fix is found.

The only time I have reproduced similar problems was manually formatting my external sd to ext4 or such, I am not gonna go into the whole technical details of why it doesn't work properly atm.

However, if you have manually formatted your internal SD to ext4, it MAY be mountable with the following commands, used in a terminal emulator, dealer's choice of which.

First, usual disclaimer applies, I am not responsible for breaking your tab, or world explosions and the like, etc.

All commands without the quotes obviously.

1. first make sure you are root by typing "su"

2. next, type "mount /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard"

Then go back to your storage manager, and attempt to hit mount.

This will allow you to at least mount the internal storage, at which point I suggest immediately formatting it back to fat. If this is the case, I hope this helps :)

Good to see you got up and going :)

The space required depends on how much is installed on your system, so as long as you don't have much 2gb is fine, but that is why I recommended 4gb just to be safe :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Avantar:
Issue mounting internal SD-Card SOLVED

Thanks Corodius for your help;)

I found a way to fix this/my issue along this way

Step 1:

flashed back Rotohammer ROM V4 with PIT.

I think there was installing again the old fat FS on the device.

Step 2:

I flashed Modaco ROM with ext4 support, followed their instruction's. It's likly the same as installing the Overcome Kernel.

Lateron the installed version of Rotohammer was still ok and fully functioning. Internal-SD and external SD-card where mounted correctly.

Step 3:

with support of CWM V. 3.0.0.0 (installed by Step2) I flashed again overcome ROM!

Now the system works great.:D

I'm only Noob, but maybe, under differend FW's installed before, it's necessary to flash the Overcome Kernel with valid PID???:confused:

Again thank's for your help the ROM runs great. :D

Until now I did't found anymore issues.

I missed "cifs" support, but I took "cifs.ko" from one former Version and getting happy to load (insmod) this to the kernel without problem anymore.;)
